Seems to be the most logical idea really, start at the first card rather than pick random cards. Further efforts to digitise the Marguerite Patten Cookery Card Index.
I did cave in and buy some more cookery cards today, but I'll whitter on about that in my next post.
This is a really basic sponge recipe. But it opens itself for modification and 'jazzing up'. I have to admit, this is a slightly pointless recipe unless you have all the cards lying around. The Victorian Sponge recipe, is pretty basic anyway, but I might jump ahead and scan in Card 31 and Card 2, just to give my efforts some validity.

I used to love this card set - my mum had it in the 70's - it brings back happy memories :)
